So I passed all my classes!!! It's such a miracle. I thank God solely for this. I feel like I ought to expect him to come through for me by now but I figure one of these days he'll let me fall on my face for slacking off. Although I guess its in his character to show mercy and give us chances we don't deserve.
We had a Christmas party, my group of friends, that is. We don't hang out a whole lot anymore. We're all in different places in life but I'm glad everyone managed to make it to the party this year. A friend of mine gave a little message. He talked about how God was born as Jesus to die... the normal stuff. But something hit me differently this time. The idea that we are living in the shadow of the cross-- we ought to live everyday remembering what he sacrificed and though we could never deserve it, live the best we can to make the most of what he's given us. Of course we will forget. We'll always find a way to get distracted or slack off... but God shows mercy.
I'm enjoying my Christmas Break! I even picked up a few new hobbies. Knitting is one. I always wanted to learn but it wasn't until my little sister started to that I actually tried. All I have to show for this is an ever growing practice swatch so we'll see how that goes... Second, this isn't a hobby, but I want to celebrate Hanukkah... I figure if Jesus didn't, why shouldn't I? Although menorahs are expensive and I didn't get one in time for tonight... the first night... so maybe I'll catch the 7 other ones (another awesome thing about that holiday, it last more than a week! :P). My last hobby is My Little Pony! I started watching the series "Friendship is Magic" at first just to be a Brony (Google it), but now I'm legitimately impressed by this little kids show. And I've even collected most of the main character toys.
My boyfriend likes to make fun of me but since I never went through an official horse phase as a little girl I think I'm entitled to this :)
